"Putin has a tooth on Kharkiv": an expert told whether the Russian Federation is ready for the offensive in the east

According to Igor Romanenko, the enemy failed to conquer the big Ukrainian city neither in 2014 nor in 2022, although tremendous efforts were made. Now the Kremlin, along with the generals, are on standby mode and try to decide whether they will be able to pull another attempt. Increasingly, there are talking that Russian invaders intend to start a new offensive in the direction of Kharkiv. It may be one of the reasons why the enemy began to attack the city even more often.

Military expert Igor Romanenko spoke about it, reports TSN. According to him, Russian President Vladimir Putin considered Kharkiv a sacred and the most Russian -speaking city, but he failed to conquer him either during the first attempt of aggression or during the second. "Putin had high hopes on him, hoped to promote his" Russian peace "through the then leadership of the first capital of Ukraine. But he failed either in 2014 or in 2022. Although the funds were spent huge.

At the beginning of the war, defenders were spent Kharkiv gave the Russians repelled and disrupted all the plans of the dictator. Separately, the expert spoke about whether the enemy's offensive on Kharkiv would still be. The fact is that the devastating approach to the war only inspires Vladimir Putin and he tries to apply it to almost any Ukrainian city.

If you take Kiev - then the enemy for the offensive on the capital requires a huge resource that is not present now, but to move towards Kharkiv the Russians require a little less - 150 thousand live strength and corresponding weapons. But with this, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is strong problems, so the Russian president and his generals are on standby. "The Russian dictator who has not fully decided whether he can" swallow "Kharkiv.

I think he will be determined by the end of April. Everything is simple here - the important potential of the parties. The Russians know their own opportunities at the current time, and therefore try to understand that It will be with the potential of the Armed Forces, namely: how quickly our allies can go from words to real cases regarding military assistance to Ukraine, " - summed up Igor Romanenko.
